Yes, Ralph, I can give you a bit of help.
[quote]I HAVE A 1940 LUGER, CODE # 42 ON TOGGLE. IT HAS 3 EAGLES ON RECEIVER, WITH TWO OF THEM WITH THE # 655 & THE OTHER EAGLE APPEARS TO HAVE AN MARK OF SORT AT BOTTOM (CAN'T MAKE IT OUT). THE BARREL HAS AN EAGLE ON IT.<hr></blockquote>
1940 year of manufactrue
code 42 is the code used by Mauser
Eagle 655 is acceptance marks by the military
What serial number is on the gun? To include any letters next to or under the serial number?
Can you provide pictures, to include side, top, etc?
This is a fairly common year, I have one just like it, Mauser made over 100,000 of them. But if in good shape and original still worth $800 - $1100. All depending on condition, if original etc.
Oh and in on-line computer writing, using all capitals is the equavalant of YELLING, so using both upper and lower is easier to read, [img]wink.gif[/img]
